Publishing in Open Access Journals in the Social Sciences and Humanities: Who’s Doing it and Why?

Coonin – East Carolina
Younce  Auburn (after May 18)

free access for all
authors pays ( 26% psychology .. and science) – DOAJ lists pay vs free ($100 Soc. Sci. -$5000 in Science)
peer review is at the heart
electronic is not OA
Culture of discipline
comfort of tenure (tenured more accept.)

Can Library encourage Faculty publ. in Open Access .. cost benefit to Library (but author pays)

smells a bit like vanity publ. to some

edge vs fringe (accepting – lagging in Soc. Sci and Humanities)

excellent survey and charts .. see Virtual Conf.

Workplace Information Literacy: Cultivation Strategies for Working Smarter in 21st Century Libraries

Shoot Me Please!  Lets get out of our own way .. “Informed Learning”

All this means:

• to use paraprofessionals at reference desk
• use of faculty and student to identify core marketing concepts and build a “digial research portal” for Marketing Curric. (interdisciplinary)
• co-created assignments
• library liaison model (partnership)
  
• co-evaluate
• teaching in commons area
• using active learning (participatory)

“Informed Learning” – using information to learn – duh!!

Guess what? Leaders will need to be ….

thoughtful
deliberative
continuous improvement
implementation
evaluation culture

• Allows people to be who they are, not what you want them to be
